Who says you must include meat for a hearty salad? Instead, this easy salad recipe incorporates meaty-textured and earthy-flavored broiled portobello mushrooms as the star topping for the mixed greens. The mushrooms get a dose of flavor from the homemade dressing that’s used as a marinade, and they pair beautifully with rich, tangy feta cheese. It’s a filling salad for a weekday lunch or easy dinner, and it’s also fancy enough to serve as a side dish at your next gathering. The dressing is so delicious that you'll want to make extra for later in the week. It'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 7 days.
